Jason Bitner's new collection of found portrait photographs from the Midwest's Frank Pease. LaPorte, Indiana is a major cultural excavation and an opening into these lives, into this town, and into the heart of our nation.

Stacey Dugan reviewed LaPorte, Indiana over at UR Chicago magazine! Here is Dugan covering some of the book's more curatorial aspects:

Some of his selections would be well-described as outtakes - a baby crying, a little girl itching her eye or a teenage girl looking scared stiff - but those imperfections make the subjects overwhelmingly human, even if they aren't the portraits that would make their way to the family mantel. Bitner's juxtapositions, too, are playful but astute.
